I want one that times by the water flow, not like an egg timer. That way it's a safety device. Is this an egg timer, or a water flow regulator?

It has a dial for up to 120 minutes...turn the water on and set dial for what amount of time you want the water to run...at the chosen time the unit will shut off the water flow...the dial needs to be set every time you want the water to run...it is not capable of setting a time of day to turn on, that is done by you each time you want to water the grass or whatever...

Egg timer, mostly. One of its functions is to regulate flow by its dial while the flow of water into it is constant. But that has no effect on time. That's where the "egg timer" comes in.

This is a simple egg timer, but is unique in that at the end of the cycle it tapers off the water flow gently as to not shock the piping.

The timer is an "on/off" device. It operates on time, not flow volume. It can be set on, without timing, or on for up to 120 minutes.

Think of it as an egg timer for your hose. You turn it to 15 minutes, it let's your water run for 15 mins, the it shuts down the water after.

The Orbit 57894 timer should work Rain Bird JTV075-ASV 3/4-In. valves. As far as I know the voltages used to activate the on/off selenoids on sprinkler valves are "standardized" and almost any brand timer will work. Check mfg specs to see what valve/selenoid voltages operate at.

Its a strictly set and water each time, is not programmable. The clock is strictly a timer and you must reset (rewind) it each time you sprinkle.

This Gardena timer is probably the best manual timer on the market. Perfect for one watering at a time! You'll need a programmable timer, and I've tried those ones at Lowe's and Home Depot only to return them as they leaked and dripped.

No. It's just a timer for a drip system. You set the amount of time you want the water on, time of day, and days of week.

The timer is a count down timer. It does not have a real time clock. To use it, you need to tun the heater on and then set it.

That is true. This egg cooker does not shut off automatically. Since the time is so short, I don't view that not shutting off automatically as an impediment.

Yes. Good timer so far. Have it wrapped in Ziploc bag, to prevent it getting wet. Loud enough, right functions for me.

Yes, the timer will work even if fluids are absent. It automatically shuts off whether a flow is present or not.

Nathaniel Allen already fielded your question in his fine review of the product. Quick answer...no, it's a mechanical water timer. You'll need to step up to one of the battery-powdered digital devices sold on Amazon.

Hi there. Because of flow restriction (severe) I only used this a couple of times and then gave it away. Since it is a spring-wound timer, anything less than 15 minutes would be iffy, and during the last couple of minutes it would begin to shut off the water even more.

This is "better" in the sense of features. I've never had a water heater timer fail, so I don't know if the reliability of this unit is better than the intermatic. I've only had this installed for about six months, so long-term reliability is unproven. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Once the buzzer goes I remove my eggs immediately (using a large spoon) to cool water and put a couple of ounces of water into the cooker. I let it cool before washing it but the water seems to keep too much from sticking. I would not leave my eggs in the genie once the timer goes off - I'm certain it would overcook the eggs.

The "timer" is by how much water you use, and it comes with a little measuring device & built in piercing tool.As far as buzzer.......no, I just putter around in the kitchen until I hear it stop bubbling/steaming. I love it.

There are 3 settings - high, low and off. It will automatically turn off if it runs out of water. However, there is no timer as such. Thanks.
